SYSTÈME POUR LE FLOTTEMENT D'UNE AILE SUR UNE MOISSONNEUSE-BATTEUSE A TABLIER

摘要

A combine draper header and method of floating a wing of the same from a center section of the draper header. The wing is movably supported with respect to the center section to enable movement of the wing between a first position and a second position. The wing is supported with respect to the center section with a resilient float element. Increasing amounts of energy are stored in the resilient float element through movement of the wing from the first position to the second position. The resilient float element is re-oriented with a float linkage to reduce the mechanical advantage of the resilient float element for supporting the wing through movement of the wing from the first position to the second position, thus buffering the wing from a force increase from the resilient float element.
